Abstract:
A method for correcting and presenting a barrel distorted image is disclosed. In the method an output image is created having a user-defined aspect ratio (AR), and the method comprises acquiring a continuous flow of barrel distorted images in a video camera and processing the image in an image processing unit. The processed image is added as an output image to an image stream, and the actual processing includes applying a barrel distortion correction so as to form a corrected image having a smallest width (w′) and a smallest height (h′), and generating the output image by cropping the corrected image to a height exceeding or equaling the smallest height (h′) and having the user-defined aspect ratio (AR).
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to video communication systems, and more specifically to a method and device for determining a degree of animation of a graphical overlay for a video stream based on a degree of movement in the video stream.
Abstract:
A method and device for encoding a plurality of image frames uses two separate encoders, where each image frame is divided into two portions to each be encoded by one of the two encoders, where the image frame is divided to minimize motion across the boundary between the two portions, such that the two encoders may operate independently of each other without a substantial bit rate penalty or reduced encoding quality.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed. The method may include determining a current zoom value of a camera and determining a first modulation transfer function of a transparent dome of the camera. The method may include applying a first low-pass filter to an image captured by the camera based on the current zoom value and the first modulation transfer function of the transparent dome.

Abstract:
A method and a video management system is disclosed. The method may include receiving a video stream from a camera and displaying the video stream on a display. The method may include obtaining, via an eye tracking sensor, gaze information for an operator watching the display. The method may include generating a historical gaze heat map for the video stream for a time period based on the obtained gaze information and determining a low interest area for the video stream based on the generated historical gaze heat map. The method may include instructing the camera to decrease a bit rate of the video stream in the low interest area.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to video communication systems, and more specifically to a method and device for adjusting properties of a graphical overlay for a video stream, the adjusted properties being at least one of a position, a degree of animation and a color composition of the graphical overlay and the adjustment is based on a scene depicted by the time period of the video stream. The adjustment is performed if an estimated bitrate for transmitting an encoded bitstream comprising the time period of the video stream and the graphical overlay exceeds a predetermined upper threshold bitrate for transmitting an encoded single bitstream comprising the time period of the video stream and the graphical overlay.
